Get to know our incoming drivers. If you see them around, make sure to say hi and introduce yourself!
Amanda Molleck
Domicile: Nussbaum
Amanda is a new driver! She got into trucking because she was a veterinary technician for 10 years, and always wanted to see the country and be able to travel. Also, she met her significant other who just so happened to be a truck driver. She also shares that her favorite road snack is Pringles. Amanda grew up in Creve Coeur, Illinois, and she spends time with her family when not on the road.

Cooper Wilde
Domicile: Carbon Cliff, IL
Cooper has been driving for just under 2 years with his Class A CDL. He grew up in Des Moines, Iowa but lives in Davenport, Iowa and he got into trucking because he wanted to expand his driving career. Off the road, you can find Cooper golfing, and going to concerts or sporting events. His ideal road snack is sunflower seeds and his favorite memory from the road was driving through NYC, seeing people selling food on the side of the roadway.
Dream vacation: Anywhere in the Caribbean
Thomas “Tommy” Ranniger
Domicile: Nussbaum
Tommy comes to Nussbaum with 7 months of driving experience. He grew up in Colfax, Illinois and got into trucking because it felt like a family business; he is a second-generation driver. Off the road, Tommy spends time with his 3 kids and fiancé, and he is often golfing with his buddies. His favorite road snack is pretzels with a sugar-free Monster. His favorite memory from the road was convoying with 3 of his old company’s drivers from a farm in Iowa to Southern Illinois. Tommy also shares that he is an open book. He has never been one to turn down conversation with anyone.

New Office Hire
Michelle Hoerner
We are very excited to have Michelle Hoerner joining the accounting team and accepting the position of Accounting Analyst. She will be joining Nussbaum on May 13th, 2024. Michelle has been at Country Financial for the last 25 years working in a very similar role. The environment and culture are what attracted her here, but then having a very similar role made it all that much easier to say yes. Thank you all for making Nussbaum a place that people seek out!
